I love green beans and my boyfriend loves bacon. Combined with the other ingredients, this side dish was a win-win for both of us! Not to mention the leftovers came in handy as a filling for omelets a few days later. I featured this recipe on my blog - http://danasfoodblog.com/?p=2337.

These are very good! I used fresh tomatoes and my family enjoyed them alot. A nice change from the usual way to serve green beans.

Yummy string beans! I used canned tomatoes- roasted garlic flavor. We really enjoyed this. Thanks, Annacia.
